| Kaffeine since I use KDE. I use xine on rare occasions, but the layout turns me off.

Codeine is my favorite 
'f' toggles you to full screen no bars, no controls (unless you move your mouse.)
'space' toggles you to pause.

I use xine with xine-ui for viewing DVDs
Unless you answered mplayer or vlc, you're all using xine because it's the engine for any number of frontends such as Kaffeine, Codeine, gxine, xine-ui... link below shows how many 'wrappings' xine actually comes in

Whichever software that came with my Pioneer DV-343...
But I do use k3b to backup DVD's, and to burn dvd.iso's.
For movies on my PC? I do not watch DVD movies on my PC.
Some online videos like youtube or some other online video I use either my Icescape or Epiphany browsers. I also use vlc and totem to view other video formats when not surfing the web._________________ This block is for DISTRO information ONLY, all other information will be removed by the Site Administrators.

I third the motion. I use Kaffeine as my main media player and use it to play MPEG, WMV, and other formats. |

I watch quite a few DVDs (people send me them as presents from back home) on my PC (under linux) especially since I got the 30" monitor. When I get this room tidied up I'll post a photo for you to see how I kick back in my (small) den.
We don't have a dedicated DVD-player - if mrs j and I want to watch a movie (local video store has no videos...only DVDs) together on the regular TV we just hook up my PowerBook or her Vaio with the S-Video jack - works fine.
